Because the UAR stopped production of gas to entice Jesus to use his divine powers. Since He was not going to give into their childish and doubtful thinking, he opted for a donkey.

It has been thought that for Jesus to ride on a colt of an *** was to indicate his humbleness. That Jesus was humble is without question. He did not have to ride a donkey to prove that. He rode the colt of an *** to openly declare who He was and to openly declare His Kingship. It was customary for kings and judges of biblical times to ride such animals, especially when they were to be anointed as king. We can see why then the Scribes and Pharisees were angered and threatened when they saw Jesus enter Jerusalem in such a fashion.
For such an arrival, the people would place their garments in the roadway, and go before and follow after their king making a joyful noise, and they would wave palm branches. It was because so many of the people cut and waved these palm branches on Jesus' approach that in the Christian Church the celebration of the Lord's triumphal ride into Jerusalem came to be called Palm Sunday.

He did not ride a donkey everywhere - mostly He walked.
When He rode a donkey into Jerusalem on the 10th of the first month (Nissan or Aviv) He was fullfilling Biblical prophecy. Also He did not 'design' He created!

Donkeys were the taxis of the time and still are in some parts of the middle east.

Jesus used the @ss as a symbol of the vehicle that would bring the material christian church in. The @ss symbolizes the apostles, and man in general. Where do you think the expression - @ss-hole comes from? I believe in the talking @ss fer sure.

he didn't ride a donkey everywhere, only into town in his last days and that was to fulfill prophesy.

because horses are for kings, and to show his humble birth and that he is the "king" of the jews (who are lower classes compared to the romans) he rides on a donkey

They were like the best means of tansport! I mean, he could've used Arab horses...they're much faster! Otherwise Jesus was waiting for Xzibit.

Actually it was only once; when He came into Jerusalem. And it shows humility.
By the way...you should take it as a compliment.
